Abstract
Auxin response factors (ARFs) are key transcriptional factors mediating the transcriptional of auxin-related genes that play crucial roles in a range of plant metabolic activities. The characteristics of 47 PeARFs, identified in moso bamboo and divided into three classes, were evaluated. Structural feature analysis showed that intron numbers ranged from 3 to 14, while Motif 1, 2, 7 and 10 were highly conserved, altogether forming DNA-binding and ARF domains. Analysis of RNA-seq from different tissues revealed that PeARFs showed tissue-specificity. Additionally, abundant hormone-response and stress-related elements were enriched in promoters of PeARFs, supporting the hypothesis that the expression of PeARFs was significantly activated or inhibited by ABA and cold treatments. Further, PeARF41 overexpression inhibited SCW formation by reducing hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin contents. Moreover, a co-expression network, containing 28 genes with PeARF41 at its core was predicted, and the results of yeast one hybridization (Y1H), electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and dual-luciferase (Dul-LUC) assays showed that PeARF41 bound the PeSME1 promoter to inhibit its expression. We conclude that a 'PeARF41-PeSME1' regulatory cascade mediates SCW formation. Our findings provided a solid theoretical foundation for further research on the role of PeARFs.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
